Katherine Frisk Note: In response to this letter I would like to make the following quotes, and the Rabbis should take heed:

A Prediction of Jerusalem’s Fall Jeremiah

Then this message came to Jeremiah from the Lord:“I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I will hand this city over to the Babylonians and to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and he will capture it.The Babylonians outside the walls will come in and set fire to the city. They will burn down all these houses where the people provoked my anger by burning incense to Baal on the rooftops and by pouring out liquid offerings to other gods.Israel and Judah have done nothing but wrong since their earliest days. They have infuriated me with all their evil deeds,” says the Lord.31 “From the time this city was built until now, it has done nothing but anger me, so I am determined to get rid of it.

“The sins of Israel and Judah—the sins of the people of Jerusalem, the kings, the officials, the priests, and the prophets—have stirred up my anger.My people have turned their backs on me and have refused to return. Even though I diligently taught them, they would not receive instruction or obey.They have set up their abominable idols right in my own Temple, defiling it.They have built pagan shrines to Baal in the valley of Ben-Hinnom, and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech. I have never commanded such a horrible deed; it never even crossed my mind to command such a thing. What an incredible evil, causing Judah to sin so greatly!

Isaiah 3:8

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of His glory.

Woe to the multitude of many people like the sound of waters like the sound of nations as the sound of waters they make a din. (Nations like many crashing waters shall make a din and he shall rebuke them and they shall flee afar off and they shall be pursued like the chaff of the mountains before the wind and like a rolling thing before a whirlwind . And behold at evening time terror, and before morning it is not, this is the share of those who plunder us and the lot of those who rob us,

And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,“As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down.”

Then He continued by saying to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.“Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.

Zionist Tel Aviv has not ceased its brutal attacks of Palestinians on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Never more so than in the bombing of Gaza in 2012 and 2014. Tel Aviv has been supporting ISIL terrorists on the Golan Heights, these ISIL terrorists who arose out of Mosul, ancient Babylon. These horrific atrocities committed by both against Damascus have not not been met with a firm response, but more attacks have been planned on an even larger scale. The accusation of chemical attacks committed by Assad is False Witness. And brakes the 9th Commandment. It is a false accusation.

Dear President Trump,

We write to you with angst just days before the Passover holiday when the Jews escaped the oppressive tyranny of Pharaoh in Egypt. The Assad regime in Syria appears to have conducted a nerve gas attack against Syrian civilians yesterday. At least 58 civilians have been killed in the attack, marking the worst chemical attack in Syria since the August 21, 2013 chemical massacre. We believe that a strong response from the U.S. is essential to stopping these war crimes.

This attack is a violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibiting the Assad regime from using chemical weapons passed under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. Local medical workers observed that victims were gasping for air, and video footage from the area showed dozens of dead bodies with no apparent external injuries.

Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin called the attack a “stain on humanity,” and urged the international community to “join together to bring an end to this murderous insanity and make sure these types of images will never again be seen anywhere in the world” and called on “world leaders and the heads of the world powers to act now and stop the criminal murdered taking in place in Syria at the hands of the Assad regime and act to have chemical weapons removed from the Syrian territory.”

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said in 2012, “the so-called civilized world isn’t even trying to stop the massacre. Its leaders issue statements, but the bloodshed continues. A situation that has lasted 13-odd months is not about to end.”

The Assad regime will not cease these brutal attacks unless it faces the threat of serious military repercussions such as airstrikes against air bases associated with chemical weapons and suspected storage facilities.

We therefore urge you to fully appreciate the importance of this moment and to act decisively to avoid dire consequences. Specifically, we recommend that you adopt the following measures:

• Verify, with the various departments in your administration, that today’s attacks in Syria were indeed carried out with a nerve agent.

This would mean that the Assad regime still possesses nerve gas and therefore did not comply with the September 2013 chemical agreement.

• Order targeted airstrikes on Assad regime air facilities, jetways, and fix-wing and rotary aircraft so as to prevent the regime from carrying out further chemical attacks with nerve agents.

If today’s horrific atrocity is not met with a firm response, Assad likely has more attacks planned on an even larger scale. The world today is looking to your administration for leadership.
